AWB files contain ADX or ADX2 audio used for sound effects, music, and dialogue in games. Use VGMToolbox to unpack AWB files in Windows. AWB files store multiple HCA or HCA-MX files if saved in ADX2 format. HCA files use the High Compression Audio proprietary codec. HCA-MX files use the HCA-MX codec. AWB files are seen with ACB files in game directories. You can convert sound files within AWB archives, typically ADX or HCA format, to MP3 or WAV using audio software.

The AWB file extension represents Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband audio files. Mobile phone manufacturers widely support this format. Nokia uses it for creating True Tones ringtones. AWB files compress speech audio for transmission over mobile and VoIP networks. They provide higher speech quality than narrowband codecs by using a wider bandwidth.
AMR-WB is the codec used in AWB files. It was developed by Nokia and standardized later. The codec achieves high quality at 12.65 kbit/s. But lower bitrates are available for streaming uses. Mobile phones commonly use AWB files for voice recordings and voice apps.
To open an AWB file requires software that handles the AMR-WB format. Options include Nokia Multimedia Converter, FairStars Audio Converter, and AMR Player for Windows. After installing such software, you can associate AWB files with it. Then double-clicking an AWB file will open it automatically.
The process for extracting audio from AWB files varies by type. For AMR-WB files, open them in a media player like VLC or Audacity first. Then export or convert the audio as needed to MP3, WAV etc. Game console AWB files use proprietary formats. They are not intended for direct user access.
